Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Ask HN: What are good high information density UIs (screenshots, apps, sites)
I find the imgui UIs to be very high density (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui and the gallery issues) See for example the tracy profiler: https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy. It seems the game dev community has pretty powerful tools to understand and interrogate their work.

Lumix - a .NET open source ableton like DAW
The user interface has been entirely developed using immediate mode gui dear-imgui library, with the ImGui.NET wrapper. This allows for a fast and bloat free experience but, at the same time, harder customization for a task of this size, since the library isn't really suited to the development of end-user applications. On the other side, it's what I'm most familiar to work with.

What do you think about using a game engine for UI?
I've recently had a lot of fun/success with Dear ImGui (C++) -- not a game engine, but originally/partly meant for use in them. https://github.com/ocornut/imgui

Show HN: ImPlot3D – A 3D Plotting Library for Dear ImGui
You can manually transform vertices (call ImGui::ShadeVertsTransformPos) this is what angled headers are using https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/6917

Microui+fenster=Small GUI
Cool project! Graphics programming is _hard_ and anything to make it easier is welcome.
Maybe a dumb question, but why not Imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui). "It's way too big and complex" is a completely reasonable answer, but I found it fantastic for debug menus, and there are a few applications that have used it as their _main_ GUI (Ship of Harkinian as an example).

Building cross-platform GUI apps in Rust using egui
The most well known immediate mode GUI framework, which egui is also inspired by, is Dear imgui. The egui repository also has a section on the trade offs when it comes to immediate mode GUIs, which I would definitely recommend you check out.

About the IMGUI Paradigm
> "Minimize state synchronization."
> void UpdateUI()
Minimize state synchronization by effectively synchronizing state on each screen refresh?
> "Minimize state storage on user side."
> Immediate mode is a style of API where important state is kept in user code
Then reduce state stored in user code by storing "important state" in user code?
> "Minimize setup and maintenance."
I don't find the example convincing. It seems like any more complexity beyond this toy example puts you right back where you started. Building components by hand is stone age ideology regardless of how you push state.

Which is great for a video game.
